A common criticism of blockbusters these days is a perceived lack of wit or invention -- the sense that big budgets and special effects are often used to paper over fundamental cracks. Baby Driver is an antidote to that feeling.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

While many of the insights offered may not be revelatory, there are nevertheless moments of pathos and power in Dying Laughing, as well as some laughs -- though perhaps fewer than you might expect, given the comic talent on show.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

I felt a little distanced from it as I watched, and never felt able to connect with the characters the way it seemed to want m e to, but that said there are plenty of excellent scenes to enjoy along the way.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

I enjoyed the blend of genres and appreciated the fact that Assayas was trying something bold. That boldness, couple with Stewart's winning lead performance, make Personal Shopper worth a look.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

Paterson, for me, succeeds in creating a tone that is very much its own, and by practising exceptional levels of dramatic restraint, delivers a ponderous, thoughtful experience, much like the ones in its protagonist's head.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

[Under The Shadow] takes many of the standard tropes of haunted-house cinema and makes a good fist of refreshing them with to its good performances, strong sense of place, and understated political commentary.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

It' s a film that reminds us about the inequality that persists in our country; about the racial tensions that shamefully still hold sway; and how community can provide hope and comfort.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

Where the stories are united, though, is in their strangeness and arresting visuals. In that sense, the film certainly has an identity of its own, and those in search of a fairytale oddity will find much to enjoy in Tale of Tales.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

There are contrivances in the story and some of the performances still hover on the annoying side, but this sequel is surprisingly a better effort than its predecessor, with some fun action and inventive visuals to enjoy.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

X-Men Apocalypse has a lot of stuff in it, but those elements don't add up to much. Its loose structure, hit-and-miss action sequences and underused characters mean it struggles to hold the attention consistently.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

The voice cast are all on enjoyable form, and the storyline, once it kicks into gear, is not simply a vehicle for the message of the film, but an enjoyable caper in its own right, full of motion and invention.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

It's a well played, pleasingly sinister film. Not outright scary for most of its runtime, and not perhaps what many fans of mainstream horror will be expecting, but it has the power to disturb.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

There's little to really complain about, save a couple of instances of iffy scripting, but the overall sense of familiarity leaves the whole thing feeling not much more than efficiently done.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

If its primary function is ultimately to remind all the oldies how brilliant Jurassic Park was, and simultaneously to inspire a new generation of kids to go and check it out, then that's surely a good thing.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

McCarthy is terrific as Susan Cooper, but Feig also deserves great credit: his whip-smart script and confident direction lend the whole picture a sense of energy and whimsical charm.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

It's all very gener ic and predictable, but not in an entirely bad way. Man Up has its charms and it'll raise a smile, perhaps even a chuckle or two, if you're looking for a no-frills romcom.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

It's to his great credit that the film feels like a Joss Whedon film. In other words, it has a character of its own, and after 11 films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that's something to enjoy and appreciate.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

So Ant-Man is an admirable but flawed attempt to expand the Marvel canon. The script is far from Marvel's best and, considering the film aims to be light hearted, lacks the laughs that bolster so many of these films.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

The Intern doesn't have a huge amount to say about the issues it touches on; it's generally happy to let its two charismatic leads simply hang out together. It's a li ttle cutesy at times, and overlong), but it's not without its charms.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT

The film builds quietly to its powerful conclusion, subtly play ing with our expectations. There are one or two moments where the script is a little too forthright, but this is well-acted double-header directed with poise and confidence by Haigh.&dash; Fan The Fire - EDIT
